Biography:
Michael Z. Williamson is an immigrant from the UK and Canada and a retired member of the US military (active and reserve, Army and Air Force, 25 years). He deployed for Operation Guarded Skies in support of Operation Desert Fox, and for OIF. When not writing, he's a reasonably accomplished bladesmith and hobby gunsmith. He's made both from raw materials, and even helped reduce ore once.

His first SF novel, Freehold, sold on its first submission to his first publisher, then sold out its first print run in 3 weeks. It was a #3 Locus bestseller. Since then, he's had multiple books on various bestseller lists, including his anthology, "Forged in Blood," which was a national bestseller and won the P&E Readers' Poll for Best Anthology. He's been nominated for the Compton Crook and Prometheus awards, and won the Year's Best Military SF award for 2014.

When not writing, he possibly holds the record for most bans on Facebook for saying things someone with little maturity thought was necessary to report to the principal, rather than taking the adult route of simply ignoring or blocking him. He also enjoys fine Scotch and Bourbon. He keeps hoping to get back into kung fu and skydiving, but he's too bloody busy most of the time. He collects antique blades and firearms and is in an arms race with Bermuda.
